Friday in Rome, Enjoying Rome

This morning our plan was to see Rome, we were going to go on the Ancient City Tour which left at 9am from the train terminal. Unfortunately we tried booking too late (8:45) and we were refused entry. We went back to the room and quickly fell asleep, not waking until around noon… I think sleep was in our best interest after being trapped in Pompei yesterday and habitually staying up late for a glimmer of communication with family and friends.

After the nap Kaitlin suggested a bus tour and it was exactly what we needed. The bus driver took us on a whirlwind tour of Rome, hitting all of the major sites (visible from the road) within an hour’s time. We were back before we knew it and ready for lunch and a long relaxing evening. After lunch we stopped at the local super market for Fanta, to mix with the rum we want to empty, and Lemoncello. We started with the lemoncello, it was not what we expected, it was not bitter, but not sweet and had a strange taste, Kaitlin said it tasted like lemon peel. We mixed the Fanta with the lemoncello and shared a glass with our roommate. After our roomie left we finished up the bottle, I decided the floor was a more appropriate place for me, took a nap (on the floor) and then vlogged. Vacation is fun! I should take more naps on floors.

At some point we decided food was probably important, the chicken gyros were hardly worth the walk, but curbed our drunken haze until we returned to finish the rum and drank two vending machine wines. Yum! Floor time? Just kidding.

Since then we have been hanging out on our computers, I seem to have limited connectivity so I looked at my photos, deleted unnecessary ones, enhancing the others and that brings us to now. I will probably go and read until I fall into a deep drunk sleep.

Tomorrow we will go back for a closer inspection of the Colloseum and to find the Fountain of Trenti and make a wish. Ciao friends.
